Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

Lu Ming first carefully took out some low-level crystal cores from his space ring.

In order to ensure the stability of the initial experiment, he deliberately selected crystal cores of the same level and the same properties.

Then, referring to the layout of the spirit gathering array, he placed the crystal cores one by one in the pre-prepared positions, replacing the traditional magic stones to arrange the array.

After several attempts and adjustments, Lu Ming gradually mastered the basic structure and operating principles of this formation.

When the last crystal core was placed precisely in place, the entire formation seemed to be activated. An obvious power fluctuation spread from the center of the formation, and the magical elements in the surrounding air were attracted and gathered towards the formation.

Lu Ming held his breath and concentrated, observing the changes in the formation. When he saw the magic elements continue to gather, he felt excited. This was exactly the result he expected.

"Success!" Lu Ming cheered softly, proving that his conjecture was completely feasible.

He then began to try testing using crystal cores with different properties.

He discovered that if the same batch of crystal cores were fire elements, after the formation was formed, it would only absorb the magical power of the fire element.

If it is a water element crystal core, it will absorb a single water element.

However, when crystal cores of different energies were mixed, the formation became extremely unstable, ultimately leading to failure.

Lu Ming was not frustrated by this, but was very happy instead, because he did not set high standards for himself, and being able to set up a formation that absorbed a single magical element was enough for him.

Then, Lu Ming tried to use the crystal core to arrange other types of formations, but the results were not ideal.

He realized that different formations had different functions and different energy requirements, and simple replacement would not achieve the desired effect.

Faced with this dilemma, Lu Ming did not give up, but began to change his thinking and look for new solutions.

Suddenly, a bold idea emerged in his mind: "Since there is no magic stone, why don't I make the magic stone myself?"

With this idea in mind, Lu Ming immediately took action.

He found a low-level crystal core whose energy had been exhausted. This crystal core was like a transparent glass bead, dull and lifeless, without any magical elements inside.

Lu Ming carefully controlled the demonic energy in his body and tried to seal it inside the crystal core.

However, the power of the demonic energy was too strong. As soon as it touched the crystal core, it generated a huge devouring force. Even though this crystal core no longer had any magical elemental power, the glass-like substance on its surface could not escape the erosion of the demonic energy.

Lu Ming was not discouraged, but continued to try. He first used several crystal cores with normal energy to set up a gathering array, allowing the gathering array to consume the energy of the crystal cores and gather the magic elements floating in the air around him.

Then, Lu Ming used the Heaven-Devouring Magic Art to absorb and refine these elements.

When the energy in the crystal cores was exhausted, he used them for experiments to explore how to safely seal the demonic energy inside the crystal cores.

This approach can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only utilizes discarded crystal cores, but also achieves the recycling of resources. There is no waste in the whole process.

First, Lu Ming closed his eyes and fell into deep meditation, feeling the flow of demonic energy in his body, which was the core power of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Art that he mastered.

He carefully guided the demonic energy, allowing it to condense into a thin stream, ready to be injected into the crystal core.

This step is crucial because the power of demonic energy is too strong and if you are not careful, it may destroy the structure of the crystal core.

Then Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, and his fingers gently touched the surface of the crystal core, as if he was communicating with it mentally.

He began to slowly and steadily inject the magic energy into the crystal core. This process required extremely precise control, ensuring the injection of the magic energy while avoiding excessive impact.

Lu Ming was concentrating, beads of sweat gradually seeping out of his forehead, but his eyes were firm and did not waver in the slightest.

With the continuous injection of demonic energy, changes began to occur inside the crystal core.

At first, the surface of the crystal core trembled slightly, as if responding to the call of the evil spirit.

Then, the structure inside the crystal core began to reorganize, and the originally empty internal space was gradually filled with demonic energy.

This process is very slow and requires Lu Ming to continuously inject magic energy while closely monitoring the state of the crystal core to ensure the perfect fusion of the magic energy and the crystal core.

When the demonic energy inside the crystal core reached saturation, Lu Ming stopped injecting the demonic energy.

He carefully observed the changes in the crystal core and saw that the originally dull crystal core now emitted a faint light, as if it had been given new life.

Lu Ming's heartbeat quickened. He knew that at this moment, he had succeeded!

Lu Ming clenched his fists excitedly. He successfully created his own magic stone. This was not only a technological breakthrough, but also meant that he had taken an important step in the field of magic research.

He believed that this small magic stone would open up a whole new magical world and lead him to a brighter future.

Lu Ming tried to create a few magic stones using the same method.

This process was extremely complicated and had a very low success rate. Lu Ming tried it ten times and only succeeded three times.

After obtaining ten magic stones, he used artificial magic stones to set up a Qi gathering array.

The energy gathering formation changed, emitting a dark demonic light and began to devour the surrounding energy.

Since the demonic energy sealed in the magic stone is from the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Art, it contains a powerful devouring power, and there are only magic elements in the void of this world.

So at this moment, no matter what the attributes of the magic elements, all gathered towards the spirit gathering formation.

The demonic energy first devoured these magical elements, and then transformed into demonic energy, permeating the range of the formation.

On the surface, this situation seems unnecessary and is no different from when Lu Ming himself devoured the magic elements while practicing the Heaven-Devouring Magic Art.

But the actual meaning is different!

Since Lu Ming could successfully set up a spirit gathering array using the magic stones he made, he could definitely set up other magic arrays.

There are just some flaws.

After all, this is not a real magic stone. The magic energy inside is very scarce and can be easily consumed, so the formation cannot be maintained for too long.

Secondly, when the artificial magic stone is not in use, the magic energy inside will remain stable.

Once it is arranged into a formation, when the demonic energy begins to be extracted, it will become very unstable and may even explode.

These problems can only be solved slowly later!

Perhaps when I reach a higher level, or use some advanced magic materials, there might be a way to solve it.

The most important thing at present is to prove that this idea is feasible.

As long as it is feasible, there is nothing to be afraid of, just do it!

But this is the college dormitory, and Lu Ming didn't dare to take out some high-level materials to try.

On the one hand, the high-grade materials had strong magical fluctuations, and he was afraid of attracting the attention of the strong men in the academy.

On the other hand, the higher the grade of the materials, the greater the destructive power would be if it failed. He was worried that the dormitory would be destroyed, and he would not be able to explain it clearly.

In desperation, he could only continue his research using low-level crystal cores.

When there is a suitable opportunity, I will experiment with advanced materials.

So in the following time, Lu Ming worked day and night to carefully study the details and proficiency of the artificial magic stone, trying to improve the success rate.

Then he used the magic stone to successfully set up an anti-peeping array and a breath-suppressing array.

The function of these two magic arrays, as the name suggests, is to prevent others from spying on them with their spiritual consciousness and to hide their aura.

In the magical continent, magicians have no spiritual consciousness, only mental power.

But spiritual consciousness is a higher level existence than mental power.

The anti-peeping array can prevent spiritual awareness from spying, and naturally it can also prevent mental power from spying, and the effect is better.

The Breath-Concealing Array can hide the magical fluctuations and other energy on the body, and the effect is very good.

Lu Ming was very satisfied with these two formations.

The only drawback is that currently, the man-made magic stone cannot remain operational for too long.

No matter what, for Lu Ming, at least it was a success!

Just like that, Lu Ming stayed in his room for the next few days, studying the demon formation without sleep or food, trying to integrate it.

Until a certain period of time, Elena's arrival broke the peace.

"Master... Master, are you in there?" Outside the dormitory door, Elena's voice trembled a little, and she seemed extremely cautious.

Ever since Lu Ming went to the Warcraft Forest for training, she has been missing him every day, and her concern for her master has never stopped.

When she heard someone mention that they saw Lu Ming at the academy a few days ago, Elena's heart was filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation.

She rushed here regardless of everything, hoping to see Lu Ming return safely with her own eyes.

When Lu Ming heard the familiar voice, his heart warmed. He immediately stopped practicing, stood up and walked towards the door.

When the door slowly opened, tears glistened in Elena's eyes. She threw herself into Lu Ming's arms almost without hesitation. Her tears fell on Lu Ming's clothes like pearls falling from a broken string.

"Master!" she cried out, choking with sobs.

At this moment, all the thoughts and worries seemed to turn into hot tears and be released freely.

Lu Ming gently patted Elena's back, his voice full of apology: "I'm sorry, Elena, I made you worry. I'm really sorry, I was busy practicing after I came back and forgot to look for you."

Elena buried her head in Lu Ming's chest and responded softly: "No...it's okay, Master! As long as you can return safely."

Her words were full of understanding and tolerance, which made Lu Ming feel warm inside.

Looking at the considerate girl in his arms, Lu Ming's mouth corners unconsciously lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. His tense nerves finally relaxed, and his mood became relaxed.

He stretched out a hand and gently closed the door of the dormitory, making a slight sound.

Then, he gently lifted Elena's little face with his other hand, allowing her charming big eyes to look into his.

Lu Ming lowered his head and gazed into Elena's eyes lovingly, then slowly moved closer to her lips and gently kissed them.

This kiss seemed to be the best consolation for Elena's long wait, and it was also an expression of the deep feelings between them.

Elena closed her eyes, feeling Lu Ming's tenderness and love, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

She hugged Lu Ming's neck tightly, devoting herself to this wonderful moment and enjoying this rare sweetness.

At this moment, all the troubles, pressure and worries disappear in an instant, leaving only the sincere feelings and endless warmth between each other.
